About Our Rescue Group...

Wisconsin German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue (WGSPR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization covering the state of Wisconsin. We save GSPs from shelters, humane societies, and owner surrenders. Our rescued dogs are placed into foster homes to be loved, nurtured, trained and in some cases nursed back to health while we find the perfect permanent home and loving family for them.

The mission of WGSPR is to provide the general public with knowledge of our breed, offer fully vetted, rescued, purebred GSPs for adoption, with a life-time follow-up and return policy for all of our adopted GSPs.

Come Meet Our Pets...

Since all of our GSPs are in foster homes, we do require an approved adopter to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet.

WGSPR also participates in monthly shows and expos where you can meet some of our adoptable dogs. Please watch our website at http://www.wgspr.com/apps/calendar/ or our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/WGSPR-Wisconsin-German-Shorthaired-Pointer-Rescue-License-403447-141240896814/

If you, as the applicant would like to continue in the adoption process, a Meet and Greet is set up with the foster family.
